A member asked:
My doctor told me to start walking on healing broken tibia i believe this is weight bearing and if so is easier weight bearing and better walking a sign of healing?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes it is. If fracture is well knit than pain is less and weight bearing actually will be beneficial in promoting continued healing.
